2. General Description
The VECTOR2 operator has been designed to safely and cost-effectively automate a
wide variety of swing gates, from single light-domestic swing gates to heavy industrial
double swing gates.
The fail-safe and fully redundant Position and Collision Detection system has been
designed and tested to set the standard in safety of operation and to provide an
unparalleled level of reliability and durability in operation.
The gate Travel Limits are managed by a sealed double-redundant opto-electronic system
that has been designed not only to ensure ultra-reliable operation, but also to ensure
precise position and trajectory control. This enables very accurate and reliable collision
detection to ensure safe operation even under trying conditions.
The VECTOR2 control card has been designed to be easy and intuitive to use, with
helpful instructions on the status of the operation being given both during and after the
installation. It also has a built-in diagnostic procedure that can verify every aspect of the
control card onsite.
Some of the advanced features offered by the VECTOR2 controller are:
& Fully automated single-button Limit Setup for single and double swing gates
& Full graphics LCD display provides an intuitive user interface with built-in diagnostics to
speed up and simplify the installation process
& Separate safety inputs for infrared beams/photocells on both the closing and opening
directions of the gate
& Advanced closed-loop speed control to maintain safe and reliable operation on inclined
gates under windy conditions
& Fully configurable gate Run Profiles
& Selectable and adjustable Autoclose with pushbutton override
& Pedestrian (Partial) opening with automatic closure
& Free-exit input
& Positive Close Mode
& Multiple Modes of Operation
& Solenoid lock drive output up to 2A
& Holiday Lockout
& A status LED output to indicate the gate status remotely
& Pillar Light control
& Leaf delay is selectable for either gate leaf
& Onboard NOVA receiver with selective adding and deleting of remotes
Page 5
Lightning Protection
The VECTOR2 electronic controller utilises the same proven surge protection philosophy
that is used in all Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd products. While this does not guarantee
that the unit will not be damaged in the event of a lightning strike or power surge, it
greatly reduces the likelihood of such damage occurring. The earth return for the surge
protection is provided via the mains power supply earth. In order to ensure that the
surge protection is effective, it is essential that the unit is properly earthed.

8. Preparation of Site
General Considerations for the Installation
& Always recommend the fitment of additional safety equipment such as safety edges
and Safety Beams/photocells, for additional protection against entrapment or other
mechanical risks
& Check that no pipes or electrical cables are in the way of the intended installation
& Check that enough space is available for the gate operator with the gate in the
required open position (see Figures 4 and 5)
& Check the strength of the mounting pillar and fit a Wall Adaptor Kit where needed
& If the swing gate leaf is longer than 2.5 metres, ensure that a lock can be fitted
& Never fit the operator on the outside of the gate, where the public has access to it
(follow the instructions for an outward opening swing gate, if required)
& For greater security consider fitting the optional High-security Kit
Install the gate operator only if:
& It will not pose a hazard to the public
& There is sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares
& The installation will meet all municipal and/or local authority requirements once
completed
& The gate mass, leaf width, allowable wind loading and application is within the
operator specifications (refer to the specification tables)
& The gate is in good working order, meaning:
& that it swings freely;
& does not move on its own if left in any position;
& each gate leaf is strong and rigid
& it can be installed to have sufficient clearance between moving parts when opening
and closing to reduce the risk of personal injury and entrapment
& pushbuttons or keyswitches, when required, can be positioned so that the gate is
in line of sight

Determine Gate Swing Angle
Use this procedure to accurately determine the gate opening angle:
Step 1
1. Close the gate and measure a distance of
one metre from the centreline of the gate
hinge.
1m
2. Make a mark on the ground.
FIGURE 57
Step 2
3. Open the gate and measure along the gate
a distance of one metre from the centreline
of the gate hinge.
4. Make a mark on the ground.
5. Measure the distance on the ground
between the two marks (Z).
1m
6. Using this Z value, read off the gate
opening angle from the table below.

Strength of the Pillar
For reliable operation it is important to ensure that the way the operator is
secured to the wall takes into account the strength of the pillar, the size of the
gate, and how frequently the gate will be used:
High-security Kit together with a Wall

10. Critical Installation Checklist
The following is a list of critical requirements that must be adhered to in order to ensure
reliable operation of your VECTOR2 operators:
& Ensure that the wall bracket is securely anchored
& Make sure that the actuator’s maximum stroke is being utilised
& Only use VECTOR cable for the installation
& Leave a 350mm loop in the cable (refer to page 37)
& Fit an electromechanical or an electromagnetic gate lock if the leaf width is greater
than three metres
& Ensure that the opening and closing angles conform to the installation guidelines
& Ensure that your gate and operators are equipped to deal with wind loading (refer to
the table on page 36)
& Ensure that fixed mechanical endstops are fitted in the fully open position for outward
swinging gates
